The repeal of the law by the Senate
by similar action on the part of the
House, and the Congressional usurpa-
ton which began in a spoils fight will
end at time when, under the admins
tration of another party, successful
effort to make the civil service some
thing more than party machine is in
progress. 1t will doubtless be urged in
certain quarters that the willingness Of
some Republicans to support the re-
peal grows out of hope that in two
years they will control the White
House, and it may then be handy to
have the President unfettered in the
matter of office-giving. When Mr..
Lincoln was inaugurated it took him
about sixty days to clean out every
Democratic office-holder in the coun-
try. This great achievement could not
be repeated with the Tenure-of- Office
| act on the books. But fairer men will
give the Republicans who supported
the repeal of vicious law the
credit for doing so on conviction,
without reference to the party con-
sequences. The action taken is one
over which all good citizens may
congratulate themselves, as it is a step
backward toward that system of con-
stitutional government which was sad
ly disarranged in the days of war and
passion.-Chtcdgo Herald.

Why an Artist Turned Perfectly Green with
Wrath and Horror.
An eminent French art collector once
bought in Paris landscape by noted
impressions" which he showed, with
much pride in his purchase, to an artist
friend.
"But think" quoth he, "that the
picture lacks animation-it wants per-
sonages. Now if you would paint for
me man or woman on that road that
runs through the middle of the land
scape, it would greatly improve the
picture"
THAT is easily done, "said the artist,
so he carried off the painting, and sent
it back in a week or two with figure
of an old peasant woman going to
market with her basket and her red
umbrella introduced on the road in
question: to the great satisfaction of the
pictures proprietor. Meeting shortly
after with the impressions" who had
painted it, the artist remarked: II had
the audacity to alter a landscape of
yours belonging to M. x. the other day.

of the effect of your alteration.
So the artist carried him off to M.

A PERpLExINo ART.
The Variety of Hands Encountered by {
Professor of Palmistry.

fFoIesBOT oA 1aAnAAsbEy'
The latest society craze is palmistry
reading persons character and fate
in the lines of the hand. The lines Of
the four-in-hand have their significance,
also, as man discovers, when he ham
dies them for the first time.
Palmistry was all the rage in Paris
two or three years ago, and it has only
recently struck New York, just as the
Paris fashions get here after they
have ceased to be the mode in the French
capital.
The soirees of our ultra-fashionables
will be enlivened by hand-reading this
winter. A very distinguished professor
has recently arrived from the other side.
and his services are already in great
demand among le bonton. Aristocratic
ladies hold out their beautiful hands to
have the lines traced, and he congratu-
lates himself that his lines have fallen
in pleasant places. Beaux will grow
jealous of him, and study palmistry
| themselves, so that his services may be
dispensed with.
Complications will arise, there is no
doubt of it. A young man will say to
| a young lady: "Give me your hand,
please" She will blush, hang her
head and whisper: "Ask pa" Then he
will be compelled to marry her or stand
trial for breach of promise. Or she
may cry, Indignantly: "How dare, you!
You know am engaged to another"
He can get out of it by saying: "Par-
don, Miss, asked for your hand to
study the lines of life"
Professors of palmistry are turning
up everywhere. Some of them are
turning up trumps, others turn up miss
ing when the hall receipts are small,
and they are compelled to jump their
hotel bills.
| 1t is curious the variety of hands
there are, when you think of it. There
is the "big hand'' that a gambler deals
victim whom he intends to fleece; the
little hand, and the little behind hand,
so often remarked among clerks in the
morning; the ''full" hand. who wants
the other hands to knock off and get
drunk, too; raw hand, that must be
handled tenderly; railroad hand,
in the baggage department. second
hand, or a secondhand watch; "hands
around" at ball, and the Dutch waiter
in a saloon who Hans around the beer
Will Carleton, who writes good farm
hand a deck hand, which an expert
dealer picks out of the deck himself,
etc. Then there is the dock hand, en-
ployed by the "doc" who cures by the
laying on of hands; made by hand, fol
service; and the handmade, who goe!
out to service; the hand grenade, fol
, blowing people up, and the hand-orgar
, that is blown up; the give-us-your
hand'' nuisance, who deserves a hand
} spike, etc.
